AJC Intervention Causes Removal
Of Offensive TV Commercial Statement
AJC Asks FDIC To Prohibit Bank Discrimination In Housing Loan Applications
SAN FRANCISCO - A segment of a television commercial declaring "there is no. hackin' nor hewin' nor Jewin' at Spartan Dodge" has been removed from the air following uV* tervention by the American Jewish Congress.
The offensive statement was aired on KGSC (Channel 36), San Jose, Calif., along with others sent by par¬ ticipants in the sponsor's contest to select a per¬ manent slogan for the "San Jose Spartan Theatre."
Joel Brooks, director of the AJCongress' Northern California Division, headquartered at 40 First Street, San Francisco, in- iormed the sponsor that the statement was in "ex¬ ceedingly bad taste," with overtones of anti-Semitism. - "He* requested that it be
deleted from the commercial and a public apology be made on the air.
Executives at Spartan
Dodge replied that the tape
,"qould only be changed at'
. considerable expense and
time" and that .they were
unwilling to do so. -
The American Jewish Congress then contacted KGSC and - in accordance with Federal Com¬ munications Commission regulations - asked to monitor the tape to deter¬ mine what further action would be necessary.
Channel 36 .subsequently informed the American Jewish Congress that the offensive segment would be ' removed from the com- "'mercial and that the host of ihe.pfogram would make a public apology. He did so the following night.
NEW YORK American Jewish Congress has asked the Federal Deposit Insurance Cor¬ poration to prohibit banks from discrimination against women in housing loans and from seeking racial and ethnic information from its housing loan applicants.
In a statement submitted to the FDIC, the Congress urged that proposed new fair housing lending practices -in the FDIC's regulations bar such discrimination and questions that might be regarded as encouraging discrimination.
The statement was signed by Theodore Mann, of Philadelphia, and Paul S.' fterger, of Washington, D.C., co-chairmen ', of the Congress' Commission on Law, Social Action and Urtian Affairs, and Joseph B. Robison, of New York, general counsel. Bjgverly Coleman of the Commission staff is'listed as "of coun¬ sel." ;
Oh the subject of sex discrimination, the Jewish organization declared:
"The-American Jewish .Congress has consistently supported the right of every American to achieve his or her maximum potential as a human being without regard to religion, race, ethnic origin or sex. We believe it is beyond ' argument that American women must share fully in the rights, privileges, benefits and obligations of our society, j "It is a;matter of belated consciousness that women, too, have been subjected to discrimination, in the exercise of their rights as citizens," the Congress stated, noting that con¬ siderable efforts were now being undertaken by federal, state and city agencies to correct this discrimination. The statement continued: "The American Jewish Congress therefore supports, as desirable, the expansion of -the .Federal, Deposit In¬ surance; T; Corporation's regulation ■ h\andating
nondiscrimination in lending to include discrimination based on sex.
"We make the assumption that the FDIC shares with us the . belief that arbitrary discrimination for any reason is undesirable, and that the addition of sex to the prohibited categories of race, color, religion and natural origin would
Appeal For Amnesty For Soviet Jewish Prisoners Of Conscience
•' ? ?•»,' Mrs. John B. Resler, chairman of the UJFC - Soviet Jewry Comittee received a request from the National Jewish Community Relations Council asking that Columbus, along with other communities across the country, make an urgent appeal to everyone in a special ef¬ fort, to write, telegraph and call prominent Soviet officials urging that amnesty, be granted to Jewish PRISONERS OF CONSCIENCE early in 1973.
The matter of amnesty for prisoners during this period of the year is an approach usually utilized by governments, and it would be advantageous if this same type of procedure could be brought to bear with the Russian Government regarding Jews serving in Soviet Prison CampsUecause of their so called 'zionist' activities stated Mrs. Resler. Therefore, Mrs. Resler is enlisting the support of Columbus Jewry to appeal to their friends, organizations, university/faculty members, and influential'government officials, such as congressmen, senators and others to make personal phone calls to Russia, or writeito the Russian UN Representatives and other Soviet leaders urging amnesty. Anyone desiring additional in¬ formation or direction, please call 237-7686, or Mrs. Resler at 252-4796.
Those to whom such communications can be directed are:(Ambassador Jacob Malik, Soviet Mission to the U.N., 136 East 67th Street, New York, New York 10021; Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin, Embassy of the USSR, 112516th Street^ N.W., Washington, D.C.

The Congress cited as authority for the FDIC in prohibiting * sex discrimination the; "due process" clause of the Fifth Amendment and the "equal protection of the laws" of the Fourteenth Amendment, as' well as a series of
court decisions that dealt with discrimination on the basis of race but "must be viewed as applying with equal force to discrimination based on sex."
